1QBit is dedicated to solving the world’s most intractable challenges by recasting problems to harness the power of quantum computing. We identify intractable industry problems and apply breakthroughs in computation to machine intelligence and optimization science to build software that allows applications to continually benefit from advances in both quantum and classical hardware.

We believe that quantum technologies will form the next pillar of computational progress. We research, benchmark and build software development kits, online platforms, and applications that make the power of quantum computers accessible to researchers, developers and industry-leading organizations so they can solve their most difficult problems in fields such as optimization, simulation, and machine learning.

As an interdisciplinary team of world-class mathematicians, physicists, operations research scientists, computer scientists, software developers, computational chemists, and quantum computing experts, we share a curiosity and drive to uncover new ways of solving currently intractable problems using advanced classical and quantum systems.

As a member of our Mobility and Logistics Optimization team, your mission is to develop algorithms and tools for solving hard, real-world optimization problems. In collaboration with other researchers and software developers, you will utilize your background in combinatorial optimization, algorithms, and operations research to develop new algorithms for solving computationally difficult problems. This role presents the opportunity to design and implement new optimization algorithms for variants of the vehicle routing problem using both classical and newly-developed specialized optimization hardware.
